C3 complement inhibition prevents antibody-mediated rejection and prolongs renal allograft survival in sensitized non-human primates

Donor-specific antibodies in sensitized recipients may cause kidney transplant rejection. Here the authors show that complement component C3 inhibition prolongs graft survival by inhibiting T and B cell proliferation/activation and hence tissue injury, despite antibody levels remaining unaffected.
